Is there a first or third party chaotic evil version of the Paladin's Holy Avenger? 1e had the Unholy Reaver. I don't want to take a Paladin's Holy Avenger and just make it the "opposite day" version.
Or if you have any suggestions on one I'd love to hear them.
Bastard's Sting is what you are looking for.
Thanks!
what are the abilities of an unholy avenger? I what wonder what would be a good evil sword for your anti-paladin?
Well, I can't remember the powers the Unholy Reaver had, really. It's been so long that I've looked at the 1e Antipaladin that I can remember only a few things, even though I played one for years. The sword above, Bastard's Sting is somewhat similar. I just need to find that Dragon Magazine issue.
I found the Unholy Reaver from 1e. It's found in Dragon Magazine Issue #39. Oh, how the memories come flooding back.
The single exception to this rule is the Anti-Paladin’s “Unholy
Sword” (Table 3 outlines the percentage chance by experience level
that the NPC Anti-Paladin has acquired such a sword in the course of
his perfidious career). When this sword is unsheathed, it will project
a 1” diameter Circle of Power around the Anti-Paladin. This allows
the Anti-Paladin to dispel magic at a level of magic use equal to his
experience level.
If this NPC has acquired an Unholy Sword, there is an additional
25% chance that it is, in reality, a +5 Unholy Reaver (Undoubtedly,
the Anti-Paladin has obtained this sword by murdering the previous
owner!).
The Unholy Reaver has several powers:
(1) Imparts a 50% magical resistance to everything within a 5”
radius. Note that the Anti-Paladin must be holding the sword unsheathed in order for this power to operate.
(2) Dispels magic in a 5” radius at the level of magic use equal to
the experience level of the Anti-Paladin wielding it. Again, the sword
must be in the Anti-Paladin’s hands, unsheathed, in order to perform.
(3) Inflicts +10 damage points in addition to normal damage,
but only when used by the Anti-Paladin against opponents of Lawful
Good alignment.
Only in the hands of an Anti-Paladin will these powers and
bonuses apply. If wielded by a character of Evil alignment, the
Unholy Reaver will simply act as a normal +2 sword. A character of
any other alignment so unfortunate as to acquire an Unholy Reaver
will discover that it will always perform as a -2 Cursed Sword!
